Second Half Open Thread

First half thoughts

WTF was up with that first series? We're facing into a 30 mph wind and we come out throwing on the first three plays? Clark fumbles and almost coughs up a touchdown. We got lucky, but all we did was delay Shonn Greene from scoring three plays later.

The decision to switch Rich Ohrnberger and Wisniewski is a colossal blunder. Ohrnberger is getting owned by Mitch King. He's winning the battle in the running game, but can't pass defend to save his life.

After that first series Joe must have turned to Jay and said, "Ok kid. Galen is going to call the plays from now on." Penn State has been running the ball with dominating success. The yardage and time of possession are heavily in our favor.

Unfortunately the redzone offense has sputtered twice. Poor execution killed one drive and a penalty killed the other.

The Iowa defense has to be getting tired. We have to just keep running the ball and wearing them down. I'm looking for Royster, Green, or Williams to break a big play or two in the second half.

LET'S GO STATE

I Think

Galen is the one who decides whether it is a pass or run, so the 3 passes to start instead of running are his fault.

Iowa is getting tired, they weren't getting the same pass rush in the second quarter

Our play selection for running the ball has been great, how many different looks did we use. That is one way to neutralize an aggressive defense when you cannot pass. I say good play calling after the first three and ouch.

I don't know, Mello Yello is pretty awful. What's the worst that could happen?

Astorino. He’s been in on special teams, but might be time to roll him into the game

Drop by Norwood

All the little things are NOT going our way right now.

this team needs to get it's head out of its collective ass

penalties, turnovers, dropped balls, no D. Just not a good showing

Blech.

Clark is so lucky that wasn’t intercepted. Absolutely fucking stupid move to throw that ball.

*sigh*

we FAIL again on offense.

We must stop them on defense for once in the 2nd half here.

C'mon

This is going badly. Clark can NOT keep throwing passes just to not take the sack. A good team will pick those off.

Step up D!!

Oh that's where he went

I just assumed he met up with his dealer and is taking the quarter off to…clear his head.

Chill out!

Everybody just needs to take a deep breath.

If one of our guys makes one mistake, everybody on here is calling for heads to roll.

Even good teams blow coverages and miss tackles, my god.

Just relax and trust our team…they’ve gotten it done for us all year.

They deserve the benefit of the doubt I think.

We’re good enough… we’re smart enough… and doggone it…. people like us!
